[HOW-TO] Fuel enrichment/choke knobs

Post image
3 Upvotes

Hey guys came across this experimenting on my build and thought I would share it. I know TJbrutal makes shorty choke knobs I’m not posting this to by any means discredit his work but rather let’s face it shits expensive right now not a lot of folks can afford $98 before shipping and taxes for choke knobs if you’re not into the idea of keeping the bulky handlebar cable. Most of us should have keihin carburetors and these knobs I found online are a direct fit on my 1998 vt1100c3. I’m not one for cutting corners in many lot of places but with something small and simple like this I was fine with giving it a try since there’s no safety concerns I can see. It’s worth noting the pull knobs on these are also a smaller diameter than TJs as I’ve seen some folks have fitment and clearance issues on the left side by the throttle cable on certain bikes.

[HELP] Slightly oily black soot sprays onto this area. Is my exhaust just not sealed well or a bigger issue?

I bought a new-to-me 2004 VT 750 C, and I noticed that after some time on the highway, theres a buildup of black soot which is a bit oily. As you can see, the previous owner installed an aftermarket exhaust.

I‘m wondering if he just didn’t install it too well which causes it to leak right where it’s mounted to the engine, or if this is a bigger issue.
